SCREENING YOUNG HEARTS NATIONWIDE

Sudden cardiac arrest is the #1 cause of death of student athletes. It takes the lives of thousands of children every year.

PHYSICAL EXAMS FALL SHORT

We check our kids eyes and ears in school. What about their hearts? Research shows that adding an electrocardiogram (ECG) to a physical exam and medical history significantly increases the chances of discovering a potentially-fatal heart condition.

The medical community is slow to embrace these findings, so we exist. We are a collection of organization dedicated to providing heart screenings for students. We are nonprofits and for profits. We provide electrocardiograms and/or echocardiograms. We embrace the International Consensus Standards for ECG Interpretation (formerly Seattle Criteria).

Which screening model works best? We don’t know for sure. There are a few variations and through our efforts, the science will catch up. Check out some of the ways we are screening. For more information, contact info@screenacrossamerica.org.
